“new Leonardos”

For forty years the Leonardo organizations have had the privilege of witnessing, and helping to document, a birth of new forms of innovativeand creative practice.

Especially during the last ten years a new generation of artists scientifically and technically literate, “new Leonardos” , have been creating contemporary art forms, and in the process making new technical inventions and in some cases, scientific discoveries.

LIVING TATTOOS IN BIOCYBRID REALITY

• Camila Handam’ s dissertation at UNB. She has a bachelor degree at the University of Mato Grosso do Sul, where Prof. Dulcimira Capisani was focused on art and technology researches. After the professor died, she moved in 2006 to Caxias do Sul University, only to spend a time in the NTAV Lab and to follow Diana Domingues courses Art Department. She was invited and she got Involved in the creative atmosphere of the Lab and become familiar to the context on art and sciences with all the participant of the LIVING TATTOOS ( embedded technologies). Domingues oriented Camila to optimize his studies at the MASTER IN ARTS of University of Brasilia, developing researches in Augmented reality.

• The final theoretical version denominated Cybrid Reality is a collaboration for the field in Brazil, and the practice adds performative components to the Living Tattoos project. Cybrid Reality result from tags tattooed on the skin, and performative art allows the forms to appear out of the body by augmented reality techniques .

• Augmented reality performance

Teste do marcador sobre a pele. Registro da 1ª experimentação que utilizou a tecnologia da realidade aumentada associada à criação de tatuagens sintéticas e animadas em tempo real. Imagens de tatuagens 3D são inseridas sobre a superfície da pele. Experimentação realizada no Laboratório de Pesquisa em Arte e Realidade Virtual, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Arte da Universidade de Brasília/UnB no dia 18 de setembro/08, com a presença de Tania Fraga e Suzete Venturelli.

Opened Body Connection (performance) is a biocybrid system in augmented reality expanded to mixed reality in a bodily continuum of flesh - cyberdata and physical space . During a ritual, in a public event, a tattoo artist inscribed on the back of the performer the computation language of the code a wing shape. The tattoo became a mixed reality system, only read in computer vision and during two hours, other printed tags on the body provided three-dimensional animations traveled through the body transmitted on line. Animated wings respond to the artist´dream of flying

BIOSIGNALS – BIOFEEDBACK CONNECTIONS IN CYBERSPACE- EXPANDING BODY LIFE IN PHYSICAL SPACE - AND DATASPACE- LIFE AND THE BIOCYBRID CONDITION.

we are collaborating for the technological innovation in Art and TechnoScience, in the field of Software Art, BioArt, Wearable Art, Device Art, developing interfaces:

hardware and software.

In the case of BWAS, with mobile wireless node of

biosensors using non-invasive sensors for the body, we use the capture of electrophysiological signals of galvanic skin resistance, and sensors for acquisition and transmission of breath and heartbeats.

- BIOSIGNALS - BIOFEEDBACK

Artworks in wearable art and biocybrid systems in LART use technological innovation regarding the miniaturization of hardware systems that have enabled the development of network sensor nodes, which allow new applications for interconnected wireless networks.

According to Carvalho (2005), those sensors have the ability to detect or measure some phenomenon of nature, processing and transmitting data or information to other sensors. In our artworks the circuit of sensors a node of sensors are built in an intelligent network sensor inserted in a set accessories

rings, bracelets, visors, or other wearables things

which coupled to bodies configure a Biocybrid Wearable Art System (BWAS), that allows people to monitor, process and send to other biosensors vital signals information and data over a long period of time.

Biosignals connections in cyberspace expand body life in physical space and it is configured the biocybrid condition.
